Testimonials

“Customer service means a lot to us and from the moment we walked into the Achieve Homes Display Home, their sales team were welcoming and professional. They explained the process to us quite easily and made the purchase experience a pleasure. It was evident from this moment that Achieve Homes would go above and beyond for their clients which solidified our choice. We also really appreciated the expert advice they provided on our structural design and colour selections. They were also extremely approachable via email at anytime throughout the build and this was reassuring for us. Achieve Home’s customer service was also exemplified when we were able to meet our foreman who from the very first moment of our build continued to explain all processes and keep us up to date by answering all our questions and concerns and providing professional advice throughout the entire building process. Not only did they do an amazing job on our house but they also made it feel like a home due to the kindness and compassion they showed us as a family during the build.

For first home buyers Achieve Homes made the process very simple and to a great standard. The customer service really shows that Achieve is more than a standard building company and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. We can’t wait to be in our new house!”

“We loved seeing the frame up made it look like a house and feel real. Achieve Homes was fantastic at each site inspection. They explained everything to us and answered all of our questions very patiently. It was very exciting for us to see the house progress. They were also fantastic at keeping us updated and making sure the paperwork was on track.”

“The process from beginning to end has been very organised. The ‘one-stop shop’ for making selections was perfect and took all the hard work away from running around Canberra.”
